| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Jump Addition Strategy
Grade 2 - Grade 4 (Ages 7 - 10)
Mathematics
30 minutes
20 students
This lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics, focusing on number and algebra, specifically addition and mental calculation strategies.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Jump Addition | 5 minutes | Introduce the concept of jump addition. Use a number line to explain how jumping forward can help solve addition problems. Discuss with the class why it is important to have different strategies for addition. |
| 2 | Guided Practice | 10 minutes | Demonstrate several jump additions on the whiteboard. Choose numbers that are easy to understand. Ask students to join in by suggesting jumps on the number line. Use counters to visually represent jumps where necessary. |
| 3 | Independent Practice | 10 minutes | Distribute worksheets with addition problems that require the jump addition strategy. Circulate the classroom to provide support where needed. Students should work silently or in pairs to encourage collaboration. |
| 4 | Review and Check In | 5 minutes | Go over the answers to the worksheet together as a class, discussing different strategies used. Collect worksheets for assessment but do not require students to present their homework to the class. |
Summarise what was learnt about jump addition and why it is a helpful strategy in maths. Reinforce the importance of using different methods to solve problems.
Assign additional problems that encourage the use of the jump addition strategy. Inform students that they should be prepared for a review of this homework in the next class, but no presentations will be required.
Consider adapting problems based on the levels of understanding within a diverse classroom. Include more advanced problems for students who excel and provide additional support for those who may struggle.
